Abstract

The use of recycled fired unglazed roof tile waste (URTW) to replace current aggregates(sand) in a concrete mixture is investigated in this study. This study is a good approach to the environment to make green concrete. This project studies and analyses the characteristics of fired URTW and studies the mechanical properties of green concrete made from fired URTW. In this project, the preparation of raw materials, which crushing the fired URTW with a machine crusher, is part of the research. The crushed fired URTW will then be subjected to specific sieve analysis, particle size distribution, surface area, pore size, and pore volume using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET). The analysis then continued with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Slump test, water absorption, compressive test and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) are all part of the analysis for producing green concrete. The composition of a material, sieve analysis, and water absorption of crushed URTW are expected to be suitable as fine aggregate in the fabrication of green concrete. These can be demonstrated by comparing the mechanical properties and workability of the green concrete used in construction. The findings of this study will be used to determine whether this material can be used to replace sand in the green concrete mixture.
